last & final post.


  • Just about every journalism internship has asked for a blog with lots of "traffic", so I started one using this website but never used it. By being forced to use it in this class I have learned a lot about the process of blogging and discovered that its actually fun. My dream is to have a blog with lots of people who love to read it and talk about it all the time. Now I try to post at least once at week and more if I have the time. Right now I do not have as many readers as I would like but hopefully it will get better.

  • As far as the writing process goes, I think this was a good way of guiding us through it. It was really creative and made things interesting. I love to write but when I heard that research was involved I was a little weary of what it would be like. I think that if my other teachers would have given me more guidance in my past I would not feel this way every time I approach a research project. If people did not take once thing from the writing process they could surely say that they learned how to create a blog. This has opened up a new window for me and hopefully it developed some kind of love for writing in other students as well. In fact, I think that this might be a good thing for other teachers to consider using. 

  • My research question has taught me a lot. It is something that I can most definitely relate to so I am glad that I decided to change it. Sleep has been lacking in my daily routine since the middle of last year. Multiple factors including the environment and my afternoon naps have caused this. But also I learned that it was things that I didn't know I was doing that had an effect on my sleeping habits such as doing my homework on my bed. I always did this because it was a comfort thing for me but  multiple doctors said that it is not healthy for your sleeping habits for you to do work where you are supposed to get rest.

  1. If you don't mind sharing your personal blog with your teacher, I'd love to read it.

    Many of my colleagues are using blogs in their classes, in various ways. As far as I can tell, it's been working pretty well!
